Calling it a forward slash is a bit akin to calling these Camel non-filters.
A package of original (unfiltered) Camel cigarets, featuring a desertlike setting with a camel in the foreground and palm trees and pyramids in the background.

This was mine. (No recollection of the back story, if any.)
Light brown vinyl lunchbox with "ROY ROGERS" in blue letters and "Saddlebag" below that in white script; a blue, white, and brown portrait of a smiling, youthful cowboy and his horse; and faux leather stitching and other accoutrements.

Fixed.
Screenshot of whitehouse.gov press release from First Lady Melania Trump, doctored to include mention of the destruction of the East Wing. On Thursday, October 30, 2025, First Lady Melania Trump and President Donald J. Trump will open the South Lawn of the White House to trick or treaters of all ages. During this special White House tradition, thousands of children and their parents will proceed around demolished areas to visit various trick-or-treat booths and enjoy the asbestos and other debris left from the East Wing. The event will take place once construction crews leave and is open to ticketholders, including military families, law enforcement families, ballroom donors and families, and Administration officials with children. The President and First Lady will hand out commemorative candies on the South Drive for a portion of the event. Adding to the festivities and fun, the United States (U.S.) Air Force Strolling Strings will play traditional Halloween songs and modern tunes while the President and First Lady welcome children and families.

Inside you are two wolves
Panel from Calvin and Hobbes comic shows the two of them fighting. They appear to be rolling around, locked in combat, the fierceness of which is suggested by a scattering of cartoon stars, planets, and moons surrounding them.

I'm a carpenter who does some normal stuff and some less normal stuff. I really enjoy solving one-of-a-kind engineering problems.
A stone house with a partially rebuilt front porch, viewed from the side. This end of the porch is curved. Below the porch joist system, a long frame that will eventually receive lattice panels is being fitted between the house and a stone pier. The frame, of unpainted pine, describes a full quarter circle.

Man. When I was a kid, there were a number of *Republican* U.S. Senators who would now be regarded as "far left progressives." Not defunding the police, to be sure, but championing civil rights, the safety net, the environment. Feels like we're in a Philip K. Dick alternate universe...
Jacob Koppel Javits (/ˈdʒævɪts/ JAV-its; May 18, 1904 – March 7, 1986)[1] was an American lawyer and politician from New York. During his time in politics, he served in both chambers of the United States Congress, a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1947 to 1954 and a member of the United States Senate from 1957 to 1981. A member of the Republican Party, he also served as Attorney General of New York from 1955 to 1957.[2] Generally considered a liberal Republican, he was often at odds with his own party. A supporter of labor unions, the Great Society, and the civil rights movement, he played a key role in the passing of civil rights legislation. An opponent of the Vietnam War, he drafted the War Powers Resolution in 1973.
